Flight crew of cpr mdt lost radio communication with approach. Saw traffic pass below approximately 1000 ft.
We were on approach in VMC, expecting a visual approach clearance for 29L at msp. Approximately 7 mi southeast of the airport, we were assigned 4000 ft MSL and a 360 degree heading by approach. This was the last instruction we heard from them. When the time to turn onto the 29L localizer was imminent, the PNF called approach and asked if they wanted us to fly across the 29L localizer. There was no answer and we continued across the 29L localizer at 4000 ft and on a 360 degree heading. The PNF then switched to tower frequency and requested instructions. Tower answered and asked if we saw an X jet northeast of us. Still at 4000 ft, we looked to our right (northeast) and saw no traffic. The PF then banked left and saw the X jet passing well beneath on the 29R final. The PNF told tower we had X in sight and tower immediately cleared us for a visual to 29L. The PF continued in a left turn to reintercept the 29L final and we landed on 29L. After landing, we called approach on the phone. The X pilot had already talked to approach and said he had seen us overhead and descended to maintain spacing with us. The approach control supervisor told us that approach had descended the X to 3000 ft MSL when they lost radio contact with us so X would be protected. The approach control supervisor, after reviewing the tapes said it was obvious there had been a loss of radio contact and therefore he expected us to continue on a 360 degree heading at 4000 ft. He objected to the PF making a left turn to sight X but said he would not cite us for a deviation since X had passed far enough beneath us and we had him in sight and were quickly cleared for a visibility by tower. If we had to do this over, we would stay on a 360 degree heading at 4000 ft and try to reestablish radio contact while flying that heading and altitude regardless of being VMC. If no radio contact was regained, we would fly the standard lost communication procedure. We really appreciated the nonaccusative, professional manner this approach control supervisor used in discussing this matter with us. We plan to visit his facility soon to thank him and learn more about how we can work together to keep the system safe.
Title: FLC OF CPR MDT LOST RADIO COM WITH APCH. SAW TFC PASS BELOW APPROX 1000 FT.
Narrative: WE WERE ON APCH IN VMC, EXPECTING A VISUAL APCH CLRNC FOR 29L AT MSP. APPROX 7 MI SE OF THE ARPT, WE WERE ASSIGNED 4000 FT MSL AND A 360 DEG HDG BY APCH.

Hours-of-Service Regulations Lifted for Truck Drivers Amidst Pandemic
One of the most controversial issues in the trucking industry is fatigued drivers. Fatigue is a serious safety issue for truck drivers and those traveling on the road around them.
To help with this issue, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enacted a regulation mandating that the truck "hours of service" not exceed 11 hours after the trucker has spent 10 consecutive hours off duty and drivers cannot drive past the 14th hour after coming on duty following 10 consecutive hours off duty. Further, drivers cannot drive beyond 60 hours in seven days or 70 hours in eight days. Under this regulation, a restart is allowed only after being off duty for at least 34 consecutive hours.
In response to COVID-19, the FMCSA has temporarily lifted hours-of-service regulations for truck drivers transporting emergency supplies and relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the first time in history that the hours-of-service regulations have been suspended on a national scale. The national emergency declaration can be read here. In summary, what it says is that as long as the trucker is delivering necessary supplies, these truck drivers no longer need to stop driving after 11 consecutive hours during a 14-hour day.
What Does This Mean for Motorist Safety?
The COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented and has required changes in many industries. While the goal of the Emergency Declaration is to timely deliver immediate needs, there is a question of whether it puts the American motorist in danger. Fatigue and drowsy driving are said to be contributing factors in as many as 30-40% of all commercial truck accidents.
Keller & Keller Has Experience with Fatigued Trucker Cases
At Keller & Keller, we are proud to take a stand against negligent truck drivers and fight hard against trucking companies. Keller & Keller was proud to represent the family of a 30-year-old man who was driving to work when he was killed by a commercial truck that came across the centerline and struck his vehicle head-on. Among other things, we were able to prove that the truck driver was fatigued which impacted his ability to drive safely. At $48.5 million, it was one of the largest pre-trial settlements in the State of New Mexico.
If you or a loved one have been injured in a truck accident, call Keller & Keller today. Our consultations are free and you don't pay us anything until we win your case.

Earlier this month, Freddie Prinze Jr. donned a Red Hood costume and went on a hilarious stakeout with Nightwing, played by Jon Lee Brody. This week, the characters are back again and arguing about the Batmobile in another Super Stakeouts video from GEGGHEAD.
"You drove the Batmobile?!," Red Hood asks.
The two proceed to discuss the iconic ride and Red Hood becomes increasingly jealous that he was never allowed to touch the car, let alone drive it. If you notice, there's even a nod to Titans in the video. If you didn't catch it, watch the related clip from the show here.
Brody, a producer, actor, and director who has had cameos in films such as Furious 7 and Star Trek Into Darkness, spoke with Comicbook.com about the Super Stakeout series and what GEGGHEAD has in store for its audience.
When asked why they chose these specific characters, Brody says he's "always loved Nightwing." Prinze Jr., on the other hand, is a newer fan.
"Freddie was always primarily a Marvel guy. When we were first starting GEGGHEAD we started spitballing ideas. And I filled him in on Red Hood. He really got into it and then naturally we said 'why not make a whole thing of Nightwing and Red Hood together'", he explained. You can watch the two actors playing the characters again in Hoodwinked. Brody also recently rocked the Nightwing costume solo in a Fast AF video.
Stakeout videos aren't all GEGGHEAD has to offer. They have ongoing sketches such as Superhero Casting Call and F*@# Deadpool, and tons of gaming content, including GEGG WARS, a Star Wars Table Top RPG Series featuring Prinze Jr. and the cast of Star Wars Rebels.
Outside of GEGGHEAD, Brody's latest project is Office Uprising, an action/comedy/horror film he executive produced that features Brenton Thwaites, Zachary Levi, Jane Levy, Alan Ritchson, and Karan Soni.
Prinze Jr. recently wrapped production for I Mom So Hard, a new film from Dan Scardino. You can also catch him at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration in Chicago. To find out information about his photo ops and signings, click here.
What other DC characters would you like to see in a stakeout? Tell us in the comments!
Upcoming DC Extended Universe movies include Shazam! on April 5th, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) on February 7, 2020, and Wonder Woman 1984 on June 5, 2020.

Completo on Broadview
Completo on Broadview is the second outpost of the Leslieville favourite serving decked out Chilean-style hot dogs and empanadas.
What started as a tiny operation in Kensington's cramped August 214 has expanded to this old hardware store in East Chinatown.
With a huge front patio, plenty of seating, and a big stainless steel bar, it's easily several times the size of the Completo on Coady Avenue.
While sleeker than the original, it's still pretty laid-back in here, with a diner feel that's perfect for gorging on saucy hot dogs.
Completo's menu remains pretty much unchanged here, with all the favourites that's garnered a pretty significant fan following over the years.
I wouldn't suggest a visit without trying its namesake offering: the Completo hot dog ($8), eaten like the Chileans do: totally doused in sauces and toppings.
The beef dog comes from Organic Rowe Farms, hidden somewhere beneath avocado, ketchup mustard, salsa with tomatoes and cilantro, and hot sauce. It's completely crushable, and if you're a fan of mayonnaise on street food, this place is for you.
The veggie sandwich ($9.50) is another hit. The patty's made from black beans and chickpeas has a crispy outer crunch, covered with avocado, cucumber, diced tomatoes, mayo, and hot sauce.
Beware the extra runny egg. You can add fries for $3.
The Completo poutine ($9.50) is another sauce-slathered indulgence, with russet fries, refried beans, melted cheddar cheese, and salsa.
Extra points for the massive dollop of guacamole, and the tasty jalapeno crema drizzled on top.
One thing that is new to the place is the empanada selection. Made in-house, options include ham and cheese with a side of mustard.
There's also beef with a side of tomato salsa.
The standout is definitely the sweet one, with apples inside, served with a little bowl of whipped cream on the side.

We should question everyone involved in the show: Esha Gupta on Hardik Pandya episode
A little education should be given on how to talk: Esha Gupta slams Hardik Pandya.
SNS Web | New Delhi | January 13, 2019 4:51 pm
(Photo: Instagram)
Bollywood actress Esha Gupta on Saturday slammed tainted Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya for his 'sexist' remark in a talk show named Koffee With Karan hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar.
Esha said that "little education should be given on how to talk."
The 33-year-old actress also raised questions on Hardik's family and also slammed the makers of the show stating that "everyone involved" in the show should be questioned.
"Many times people get more excited and say such things. I think even then a little education should be given on how to talk, especially about women," she said.
Esha also raised questions on the show. She said, "We publicise such things and later raise questions, I think we should question everyone involved in the show."
The actress was at launch of her new single 'Get Dirty' in Mumbai. Her scathing remarks came when a reporter asked her to comment on the inappropriate remarks of "her friend Hardik Pandya".
Esha then lost her cool and responded by saying, "Who is the one who told you (Hardik Pandya) is my friend?"
The actress further said, "I do not think anyone should talk bad about any woman, if you think your family is not worried about it, then be it, but it is wrong on Humanity."
"Firstly, women should not compare themselves with men. We are the best in every respect. I don't want anyone to feel bad, but why don't you give birth to a child? We suffer from periods five days every month and even then we have to dance, go to an office, and take care of the children. When you can do all this, you become superior," Esha added countering her own statement.
Pandya has been widely criticised by Indian fans and former cricketers alike after his controversial comments on women. He has also been suspended the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) with immediate effect and banned from playing in any tournament authorised by BCCI or International Cricket Council (ICC).

Everything in moderation seems to be good advice for most things.
Eat in moderation, drink in moderation, work in moderation, sleep in moderation– dare it not be too much or too little. Dare you step out of the lines of life already drawn out for you. Moderation keeps people in a nice neat box. And because most people follow the rules, life and society exist in moderation.
Life continuously flows, day in and day out, sun up and sun down.
But nothing happens in moderation. Nothing. Inertia happens. It might keep life easy but nothing is changing or growing, it just rolls right along into the next day.
Any change that has ever happened has come from a relentless idea, a passion. Revolutions, uprisings, strikes, boycotts, breakthroughs, they have all immerged because a person or a group of people have felt so strongly about something that they refuse to let moderation happen. They refuse to stay inside the lines, to keep their head down and keep moving easily through life.
I'm a Libra, therefore I am the definition of moderation and balance. I once read a description of a Libra as "easygoing to the point of inertia." I didn't like that. So I choose not to listen to it. I choose every day to work toward my goals, to not give up, to push a little bit harder, to ask for help when I need it, to not let life pass by without really living it. It's a work in progress, as it is for everyone. Some days are hard and I let life be easy. But I know, ultimately, that you cannot just let things happen.
You, alone, are responsible for whatever life you choose to create, whatever life you imagine.
I think too often people can't see past the reasons why something won't work. But what if you imagined and believed in all the reasons how and why something CAN work!
That's a powerful thing… and it lives inside of everyone if they choose to look past moderation.

Q: Copying a vector passed by reference in constructor My class contains a vector and upon instantiating it, I want to initialize its vector with some input vector:
class Test {
public:
    Test(std::vector<int>& input_vec) : vec(input_vec) {};
    std::vector<int> vec;
};

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> a{1,2,3};

    Test t(a);
}

I am passing a to Test's constructor by reference for efficiency-reasons in case the input vector is very large. I have two concerns in mind:

*

*Is it actually more efficient in my case to pass it by reference or is it redundant since I am only making a copy of it?

*Does it pose a memory risk that I pass a vector by reference and then take a copy of it?

Spend wisely to boost child well-being, finance official says
September 7, 2018| John R. Roby
Searchlight New Mexico Executive Editor Sara Solovitch interviews Charles Sallee, deputy director for program evaluation of the New Mexico Legislative Finance Committee, during a forum on early childhood education held Sept. 6, 2018 at United Church in Los Alamos.
New Mexico has a waiting problem, according to a senior official with the agency that advises the state on how its money is managed.
"Often the programs and systems we've established wait to deal with problems until they're very expensive and challenging to solve," said Charles Sallee, deputy director for program evaluation on New Mexico's Legislative Finance Committee (LFC), during a forum on early childhood education held Sept. 6 at United Church in Los Alamos.
Sallee returned to that point over and over during the forum, sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Los Alamos, the American Association of University Women and Searchlight New Mexico. As featured speaker, Sallee was interviewed by Searchlight Executive Editor Sara Solovitch before an audience of over 50 people about the need for better implementation and oversight of the state's early childhood programs.
Using child protective services as an example, Sallee described a system that lays elaborate requirements on a mother to win back custody without offering her assistance, and then results in one of the nation's highest rates of repeat neglect. There are programs in place elsewhere in the nation proven to break that cycle, he said, but they're not operating here.
"We've poured money into [child protective services] and we're not getting results," he said. "From a taxpayer standpoint. you should be asking, 'Why are we not investing in things that are cost-beneficial and [lead to] better outcomes for kids and families?'"
New Mexico has built a network of programs aimed at improving health and educational outcomes for the state's children, Sallee said, including childcare assistance, home visiting, pre-K and K-3 Plus. The network has grown since 2012, even during budget crunches that saw other agencies lose funding. That means the LFC can advise lawmakers on which programs to boost depending on the goal they want to accomplish.
"When people say they want to change educational outcomes, I tell them, 'Put your money into pre-K,' he said. "If they tell me they want to help families afford childcare, put money into childcare assistance."
Yet what's often missing, he said, is coordination. Early childhood funding is spread across four state departments, and often represents a fraction of an agency's budget. Pre-K, for example, is funded through both the Public Education Department and the Children, Youth and Families Department. Perhaps, he said, it's time to consider creating a new home for early childhood programs or reviving the Children's Cabinet created during the Richardson administration.
"I think a Children's Cabinet could be helpful, possibly, along with a new agency," he said.
New Mexico has for years ranked among the worst in the nation on most measures of child well-being. Yet with just under 2.1 million people, small on-the-ground improvements can make a big difference.
The challenge, Sallee said, often lies in convincing people that a new approach — one backed by evidence — deserves a try in New Mexico.
People, he said, often think "what works elsewhere won't work here. But what we've been doing here hasn't worked, so maybe we should give [something else] a shot. That's been a real barrier to getting folks to adopt evidence-based models, this notion that we're so different that this can't possibly work here."
Searchlight New Mexico, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative news organization, is engaged in a yearlong reporting project on the challenges and the opportunities that children in the state face.
"This was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the real issues facing New Mexico's children and how the state's bureaucracy helps and hinders that work," Solovitch said. "We were glad to be a part of it."

Pomona, a rural town on the North Coast railway line is 125 km north of central Brisbane and 25 km inland from Noosa Heads.
When the North Coast railway was opened in 1891 a railway siding named Pinbarren was placed at the future Pomona township. The Pinbarren school was opened in 1897, but local opinion wanted a different name for the township allotments soon to be auctioned. Considering that local soil and climate were suited to fruit growing, the name of the Roman goddess of fruit, Pomona was proposed and agreed to by government authorities in 1900. Pinbarren is now the name of an adjoining rural/residential locality north of Pomona.
Beginning as a timber and dairying town in the 1890s, Pomona was the largest town in the Noosa Shire when it was created by severance from Widgee Shire in 1910. Accordingly, it became Noosa Shire's administrative centre until 1980 when the shire offices were moved to Tewantin. Another distinction was the opening of a picture theatre (c1921), which continued into the twenty-first century as the Majestic. Another indication of Pomona's past importance was its retention of the court house for the Noosa area until 1987.
Critics of the uncontrolled urbanisation of Noosa Heads trace its cause to the rural-based councillors at Pomona being content to exploit development as a cash cow for council rates. The defeat of those interests in the 1990s and transfer of the council offices to Noosa seemed to allow Pomona to regain its rural perspective, attracting new residents who prefer its pace of life. Pomona has a primary school, Cooroora secondary college (2000), a show-ground, a hotel, a caravan park, a bowls club, rural businesses and shops, a cinema and the Noosa Shire museum. The Cooroora Masonic Lodge (1923), a notable building with elaborate interior murals, is listed on the Queensland heritage register, as is the court house. Overlooking the town is the prominent Mount Cooroora (438m, the site of an annual King of the Mountain race). Pomona's census populations have been:

I LOVE my city. It's so beautiful and even though I've lived here my whole life, I have found myself seeing new things in a place that I've seen a thousand times. Downtown will always be my favorite place to shoot portraits.
I also love getting together with other creatives and creating something together. That's what I did with Pete Slippy Photography this weekend. Pete is amazing! He's a young buck that is incredibly talented. In the space of a few hours I saw him grow and take some amazing shots.
We had been talking about this particular shoot for a few weeks and we were both so jacked to get it going. It helps when you know a guy with an epic beard and who also knows who to talk to in order to get on top of a building downtown.
Basically...we blew our own friggin' minds.


Food waste that is sent to landfill doesn't harmlessly breakdown. It has a big impact on the environment as it rots and releases methane – a harmful greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. However, it's not all bad news as many of us will be able to recycle our food waste.
Many councils offer a food recycling collection service. The schemes vary, with some councils collecting food waste mixed in with garden waste, while others collect the food waste separately. To find out whether you have a local food waste collection enter your postcode into our Recycling Locator tool.

Would a cat and guinea pig get along?
Would a cat and guinea pig get along ?
You have to remember that cats are really small little panthers. They are basicly carnivores with great hunting instincts. So, there is a very good possibility that your cat will see a guinea pig as dinner. You have to be very careful when the two are together. I know that there are instances of cats getting along with small animals such as guinea pigs or hamsters, but those are the exception. Just be very careful. Hope this helps.

I am a geologist specializing in the study of extraterrestrial rocks and cosmochemistry. The distant, resource-rich asteroid belt is my field area. Meteorites, pieces of planets, and "left-overs" from the formation of the solar system over four and a half billion years ago, are clues to the origin of our solar system and planetary systems around other stars. I develop thermodynamic models describing the equilibrium distribution of elements between fully speciated gas, liquid, and solid mineral phases at high temperatures. My models describe the outcomes of condensation, evaporation, and crystallization processes affecting the solids and liquid droplets that combined in the oldest meteorites. This modeling of how gas, solid, and melt phases interact at high temperatures and low pressures, contributes to understanding the formation of the first solids, and molten (liquid) rock droplets in the solar system, which eventually led to the accretion of the planets. I also apply x-ray CAT-scan and microscopic imaging to meteorites to get 2 and 3-dimensional images of how they are put together.
I began my research career by investigating how silver, copper, nickel and platinum-group metal ores form in the Earth. By seeing how sulfide minerals react in the laboratory, I was able to model their thermodynamic properties, and develop predictive tools to find metal-rich rock in existing mines.
I serve as the curator of the AMNH meteorite collection. Our mission is to make meteorite samples available for research by scientists throughout the world. Collections-based research is vital to the exploration of space and a better understanding of our origins.
Public outreach, teacher training, and education are part of the Museum's core mission. In 2003, I served as lead curator in reimagining the Museum's magnificent new Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites.


Preheat the oven to 375 F. Blend the chocolate graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground, add the sugar and pulse a few times until well-mixed. Mix the graham crackers and melted butter together in a bowl until smooth. Press the cookie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch tart pan with fluted sides and a removable bottom. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Let the tart base complete cool before moving onto the next step (you can put it into the refrigerator to speed this up). Place the chopped chocolate in a large glass bowl. Add the whipping cream to a small pan. Bring the whipping cream just barely to a simmer over a medium to low heat. Pour the heated whipping cream over the chocolate and gently stir with a spatula until the chocolate completely melts. Stir in the softened butter and liquor to the chocolate mixture. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled tart and spread evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate the tart for approximately 4 hours or until it has set. For the top layer mix together the marscapone or cream cheese with the heavy cream and honey or confectioners sugar in a stand/electric mixer until smooth (2-3 minutes). Spread evenly on top of the chocolate ganache layer and smooth the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate the tart again until the top layer is set (approx. 2 hrs). Once the tart set, decorate the top with your garnishes.

This company claims its boats can save Venice
Editor's Note — Sign up for the free nine-part installment of CNN Travel Unlock Italy Newsletter for insider information on Italy's best-loved destinations and lesser-known regions to plan your ultimate trip. Plus, we'll get you in the mood with movie suggestions, reading lists, and recipes from Stanley Tucci.
(CNN) — There is no question that Venice is in danger. It is debatable whether it can be saved in the end.
Now a company thinks they can make a difference to the floating, sinking city – with 'flying' boats.
Swedish company Candela thinks its electric boats could help combat "moto ondoso" – the damaging phenomenon of waves crashing against buildings and sidewalks from the wake of boats being driven through the city.
Moto ondoso has been tipped by UNESCO as a "macro emergency" for the fragile lagoon city. The organization says: there is a question to "drasically reduce the effects of motorboats."
Candela's boats are aimed at that. The Candela C-8 and P-8 Voyager are the first no-wake, high-speed foiling day cruisers. And while the C-8 is a classic boat, the P-8 Voyager is designed to carry passengers – as a taxi or shuttle boat, suggesting it could be applied to a larger level in the city.
The boats rise on hydrofoils to glide over the water.
Designed by aerospace and drone engineers, the boats produce a wake of just 5 centimeters (2 inches) when "flying" at 30 knots – about the same amount as a hand-padded gondola, and are unlikely to break the foundations. of the city with waves crashing.
Meanwhile, the larger 30-seat P-12, announced in June 2022, promises to be the first "flying" ferry — with a range of 60 nautical miles and speeds of up to 60 kph (37 mph), the manufacturers say. beat rush hour on routes with an alternative on wheels.
The 2022 launches will follow the launch of Candela's first boat, the pilot C-7, which debuted in 2019. Unlike the other boats, it does not have an enclosed cabin, making it more of a summer pleasure boat.
Electric dreams — and nightmares
Electric cars may have been popular for a while, but electric boats have had a harder time. The water resistance on a boat's hull, combined with the weight of the battery needed to power it, is a double whammy for boats, meaning most have to compromise on speed or distance.
A battery pack with a capacity of 100 kWh in an ordinary ship can only cover 30 nautical miles at 20 knots before it is empty, according to Candela. But getting the hull out of the water solves the drag problem. These boats have an efficiency of 400% and can sail for 150 minutes before needing to be recharged, the company says.
Candela's "flying" boats were the brainchild of founder Gustav Hasselskog, who noted that his quick ice cream while vacationing in the Swedish lakes was about 10 times the price of his family's gasoline ice cream.
He calculated that conventional boats use about 15 times more energy than a car, traveling at a constant speed of 20 knots – making it difficult to power them from the battery. Instead, he thought of taking the boats out of the water, on hydrofoils, to make them "fly" and hired aerospace and drone engineers to make them a reality.
The silent boats make riders one with nature.
"Flying in absolute silence, without hitting and basically for free – it's just an amazing experience. Once you try Candela, it will be hard to go back to traditional motorboats," Hasselskog said in a statement about the C-8.
"Venice, which relies on powerboats but also suffers from their impact, is the perfect place to show how Candela's vessels can contribute to a better world while offering new levels of performance."
The boat starts to sail like any other, but — just like an airplane — as it builds up speed, it starts to rise. The foils can also retract, meaning the boats are not at risk of sea growth, which could otherwise cause them to grow up.
But that need for speed to lift the foils means saving Venice won't be as easy as switching to electric, said Dr. Pierpaolo Campostrini, director of CORILLAwho studies the lagoon system in Venice.
"Boats with that type of hull do not produce the moto ondoso when using their foils, but the foils are only activated above a certain speed, which seems high at the moment for the lagoon context," he told CNN.
"It is certainly not a concept suitable for a vaporetto" [waterbus] in the Grand Canal or a freighter."
However, he thought the boats could have potential outside the city center, such as heading to the airport, further north in the lagoon, or connecting Venice to islands such as Burano and Pellestrina.
rethinking Venice
A Candela water bus could work for longer trips around the lagoon.
However, he warned that maneuvering the boats at high speed around slower traffic could be difficult, and said a reconsideration of urban transport is in order before any decisions are made.
"It would be interesting to do some experiments [with Candela]but before this capability is widely introduced, all lagoon water mobility needs to be reconsidered," he said.
"It is critical firstly to accelerate the transition to electric propulsion of all boats in the lagoon as quickly as possible, secondly to enforce speed limit compliance through existing technologies that can recognize the type of boat, and thirdly , possibly, to adapt the speed limit to the type of boat."
Meanwhile, while Venice waits, Stockholm has struck. The regional government has ordered a trial of the P-12 ferries, using the boats on a commuter route from the city center to the suburb of Ekerö, with a view to eventually running a fleet of flying ferries. The boats will operate at an increased frequency to compensate for their smaller size. The boats will go into production in the fall of 2022 and the trial will start in the first half of 2023.

Rating 3.5 starsI had a problem with the hero, who was so focused on duty that he broke the heroine's heart first when they were teens which led her to marry a man older than her and who abused her and now almost a decade later when the woman he married under contract is dead, he goes to her again. He hasn't contacted her in a decade, knows that she is pariah because of her divorce and even when he learns what she went through, hides what she is to him because she is not suitable as a queen.

Good book. Rafiq is dealing with a lot of guilt over his wife's death. He ends up going to see Maysa, the woman he gave up because of his duty to marry another. She had been forced to marry another man who abused her until she escaped and fulfilled her dream of becoming a doctor. She is back in Bajul, but looked down own by many because of that divorce. They are still attracted to each other but still must hide their relationship. Rafiq really irritated me through most of the book. He shouldn't [...]
I wasn't sure whether to rate this 3 stars or 4. I settled on 4. There were a few reasons. Firstly the love scene, when it finally happened, was fantastic - tender and respectful and passionate. Secondly I liked that the heroine, Maysa, is strong and independent. I also like Rafiq the hero. I could understand his predicament.When Rafiq and Maysa were teenagers and in love they had their first experience of romance and physical love. But it was not to be. Rafiq's future as the crown prince was al [...]
The whole story was disappointingly sad. I mean the hero wasted all that times being married to a tramp, who went around sleeping with various people while the love of his life, the heroine was married off to an abusive man because the hero refused to speak up for her, and wed her instead. When they finally get together, it's just a huge waste of life

This left me disappointed, becuase the blurb promised much.The tussle of duty over love is one of my favourite tropes. Yet this story which started well, failed to pull me in and create some emphathy for their dilemma. At times the story line felt forced, by the multiple revelations with too much thrown into the mix. It just left me cold.Above and beyond all of that and for all his Royal 'hotness', compared to the admirable h, the H comes across as a total wimp.

I enjoyed reading the novel in Portuguese, "Um amor do passado". I took a trip to the Arabian. A beautiful romance, but I've read better books.Gostei de ler o romance, em português, "Um amor do passado". Fiz uma viagem às arábias. Um romance bonito, mas já li melhores.
Linda Breiding
It was very refreshing to read a love story where the main character is from a different culture and has different values. The author was able to reflect those even though the main character is from a new generation trying to improve the human rights for women.

Having a keen interest in computers, Matthew started out as a Level 1 Service Desk Analyst where he gained much experience working on the service desk and answering computer troubleshooting inquiries.
"I've worked on everything from account setups to printers, software installs, network and internet troubleshooting. I also worked on the Specsavers IT Care Bar for two years and was the first point of call for all Specsavers Support office staff.
"I assisted with IT-related inquiries and dealt with any minor issues on the spot.
"I get a real joy out of helping people understand technology. I have great skill in explaining why things go wrong," says Matthew.
With his career aspirations on the right path, Specsavers recognised Matthew's hard work. As a result, he was promoted to Level 1 Helpdesk Team Leader and is now the senior member of his team.
Matthew's promotion has allowed him to focus on his strength in helping others. He is now the escalation point of contact to assist his team and defuse anyone that may be disgruntled.
One of the areas that appeal to Matthew is that every day is different.
"The wide variety of IT that we support makes the job very interesting. The tickets/requests are never the same, and there are always many ways to fix problems.
"There are also some great personalities that make the job enjoyable, and I've developed a rapport with several store partners and staff," says Matthew.
The variety in Matthew's role has also allowed him to work in Hong Kong, where he took on the role of Interim Systems Administrator.
"My goal was to educate and assist the Hong Kong Support office around the ServiceNow Incident portal and ensure they were all trained and able to use it.
"I also provided technical support at the supply chain conference that all the global supply chain managers attended. Although I had minimal context and system knowledge, the week was very
productive, and I received glowing feedback from our Senior Business Stakeholders," says Matthew.
While Matthew enjoys the opportunity to help people, travel opportunities and the great pay and benefits, his real enjoyment is the friendships he has made.
"I like that I can have a laugh with my team and the wider store teams at Specsavers. The friendly culture is what I enjoy the most in the role."

Just started to work on my ReShade mod, and got a little suggestion about presets. I'd like to have a define that has a current application name in it (hash for example), so for some games I could use different presets.
I think __APPLICATION__ would be nice. Keep up the good work btw.
Alright then (and thanks =) ). Available with the next update. Also added a field to the statistics overlay (#pragma reshade showstatistics) displaying its value.
out of interest could you explain the specific purpose please?
are you intending to supply a single generic mod but with game specific functions included for multiple games?
CeeJay just pointed out a useful one to me: There are a bunch of games where the depthbuffer is flipped horizontally. This is something ReShade cannot fix, because the depthbuffer is bound directly to the shader and it's impossible to figure out its direction. Now with this new define one can create a list of games where this is the case and then simply flip the depthbuffer in the shader again.
Yep, but I'm just rewrited martinsh DoF to HLSL with some little fixes. Anyway now with ReShade released I can start to work on implementing my old, and writing my new shaders.
Since you're adding id's for each game, would it be possible to implement a pshash system like with gedosato for applying effects before the hud is rendered?
That sounds great, i think the "martinsh/petkagta DOF are the best, can i get that rewrite anywhere?

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Caboodle Cartridge, LP is creating an entirely new channel for ink jet and laser printer cartridges by introducing an advanced recharging laboratory and first-of-its-kind retail service outlets in California. Caboodle Cartridges enables printer users to simply walk into a local store and have their cartridges either refilled or exchanged in as little as ten minutes for savings of at least 50%.
The concept of refilling is not new. Recharging companies have existed for years in the laser printer industry while newer ventures have launched online inkjet exchange or refilling programs via mail. Also, syringe refill kits are available at local retail outlets. However, Caboodle Cartridge is the first company in North America to build an advanced facility to rebuild and recharge laser and inkjet cartridges that are at or exceeding OEM-quality, while others simply refill the ink and toner only. It also is the only company to open dedicated retail outlets allowing customers to walk in and instantly receive "good-as-new" replacements. Caboodle recharges all popular cartridges for color and B/W laser and ink jet, including Hewlett Packard, Canon, Panasonic, Lexmark, Brother, Samsung, Minolta, Epson, Canon and Lexmark.
"Printer manufacturers rely heavily on the tremendous profits generated from sales of printer cartridges, and customers are practically locked into paying prices that usually cost more than the printer itself," said Daniel Wencel, General Director of Caboodle Cartridge. "The Caboodle concept provides overdue relief for printer users because we save them from the pains of overpaying for new cartridges, trying to inject ink through syringes, and obtaining lower quality refilled cartridges, while giving them a local resource to instantly solve their personal or business printing needs."
Caboodle focuses on quality. The founders have invested in a state-of-the-art recharging facility that does not compromise quality and yet offers substantial savings. When servicing laser printer cartridges, the company refills the toner and also replaces the inside components. Typical savings are 40% to 60% of the price of a new cartridge.
For ink jet services, Caboodle stocks almost 200 varieties of ink. It uses the highest quality inks made in Germany, which incorporates special formulas for each different cartridge type. The cartridge filling process follows stringent manufacturing guidelines, which call for correct ink ingredients and thoroughly cleaning each cartridge through an intricate technical process utilizing heat, ultrasound and centrifugal force. Users enjoy savings of 50% or more for like-new quality.
With the approval to offer franchise licenses, Caboodle Cartridge plans to rapidly expand and open a robust network of service outlets patterned after the first store in Saratoga. Several locations are already in development throughout the Bay Area and Central California.
Caboodle's current customers include individuals, enterprises and various local and state institutions. With the advent of digital photography and easy-to-use desktop publishing software, individual users burn through color ink quickly to print digital photos, invitations, flyers, etc. Businesses, law firms, real estate agencies, insurance companies, banks, schools, police departments, county and city offices, financial and accounting services, use printers for almost all records and communications.
Wencel added, "Individual users and businesses can save small fortunes on their monthly printing expenses and at the same time help the environment."
A father and son team, Daniel and Chris Wencel, founded Caboodle Cartridge. The idea derived from their extensive experience in the computer and printer service market in the country of Poland. Caboodle Cartridge has been in development for two years and has recently started offering franchises in the Spring of 2004. The company is on track to open 60 retail locations by early 2005.

When you try to create Dashboard on the BEx query using the Query browser connection you get this error right after selecting the OLAP connection (If OLAP is pointing to the BEx Query). Else it will occur after the selecting the query. We expect it to retrieve the structure so that we can create the query in Dashboards but instead we get the error.
If we test the same in webi report or crystal report for enterprise the same BEx query works perfectly fine.
However, you may observe that in webi or in CR4E you get prompted for entering the prompt value before the structure is created.
You enter the value, structure is loaded, create the query and again you get prompted for entering the prompt value. This gives the expected results.
The reason being the mandatory prompts or the exit variables defined in the BEx query.
In Dashboards we do not get any window to enter the prompt value before the structure is loaded and hence we get the error.
The workaround would be to provide a default value to the mandatory prompts so that the structure is loaded with the default value of the prompt.
Hope this information is helpful!!

Nearly Half of U.S. Renters Are Affected by Housing Cost Burden
Investing in Rental Property, Marketing Rental Property, Property Analysis, Property Management Tips, Rental Property, RentLAP
The American economy has been growing for the past ten years, yet more and more people are struggling to pay rent. According to the new report published by Apartment List, almost half of American renter households can be classified as cost-burdened as cost-burdened, spending more than the recommended 30% of their incomes on rent.
Even though the national cost burden rate slightly decreased, it remains at approximately 50%.
The national cost burden rate showed a slight improvement, decreasing from 49.7% in 2016 to 49.5% in 2017. The share of severely burdened renters (who spend over 50% of their household income on rent), decreased from 25% to 24.7%. The share of moderately burdened renters increased from 24.7% to 24.9%. Despite the recent general improvement on the subject, the issues of affordability remain immense. Close to one in four households spends at least 50% of their household income on rent, and half of renter households find themselves exceeding the recommended housing budget. There has been an increase in political activity on the matter. Unfortunately, the statistics remain low, with just 22% of the housing-related bills introduced in the current 115th Congress specifically mentioned renters. None have been passed into law.
The number of cost-burdened households reached an all-time high in 2014, even with the cost burden rate was improving. Luckily, the number of rent-burdened households has started to fall and is currently 774,000 households lower than the 2014 peak. That said, the total number of rent-burdened households remains 3.1 million households higher than in 2007.
Signs of improvement can also be seen when we compare growth in the median renter income to growth in the median rent. The chart below shows that the median renter income grew faster than the median rent for the sixth straight year.
The median renter is cost-burdened in 20 of the 25 largest metros. With 62.7 percent, Miami has the highest cost burden rate of the nation's 100 largest metros. In addition, nearly one in three cost-burdened renters lives in CA, NY, or FL. At a closer look, Dallas, Minneapolis, Charlotte, St. Louis and Houston are the only five metros where the median renter can comfortably afford the median rent. This indicated that rental housing affordability affects low-income and millions of middle-class households, as well.
At last, Apartment List explored the relationship between income growth and cost-burden increase. Below is a chart that demonstrates that when income growth outpaces rent growth, cost burden rates will tend to fall.
A lack of affordable housing in areas of economic opportunity remains one of the most pressing issues. Households that struggle to pay rent oftentimes have to cut back other basic necessities, which can result in adverse and long-lasting consequences. While the data do show some improvement, there is still much left to accomplish to ensure that everyone can comfortably afford a place to rest their head.

AJ INTERBRIDGE – From Japan to the World.
AJ INTERBRIDGE INC. has now expanded its projects to bridge Japan to cities 'All over the World'.
Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Hiroaki Araki moved to Adelaide, Australia at the age of 16. While in high school, he not only learned how to view his own culture through the eyes of those outside of Japan, but discovered the growing interest others had in Japan. Being thrust in a multicultural environment not only shaped the way he perceived his own country, but provided him with ample opportunities to learn and better understand other countries and cultures. After graduating from university, Hiroaki went on to work at the Shangri-La Hotel, The Marina, Cairns where he learned first-hand the ins and outs of the hospitality and travel industry.
Hiroaki took this knowledge and experience back to Japan, and in 2009 established AJ INTERBRIDGE INC. With an aim to create interactive accommodations, where guests were able to experience the beauty and culture of Japan in their "home away from home", Hiroaki created the first AJ brand, MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN (a self-catering holiday accommodation service available in Kyoto & Kanazawa).
By reimagining traditional Japanese town houses (町家; machiya), traditional Japanese inns (古民家ホテル; kominka hotel), and buildings into accommodations, AJ INTERBRIDGE INC. brings travelers and surrounding neighborhoods together to create a singular community, and inspire individuals to return to our cities over and over again.

There are several situations where we need address translation such as, a network which do not have sufficient public IP addresses want to connect with the Internet, two networks which have same IP addresses want to merge or due to security reason a network want to hide its internal IP structure from the external world. NAT (Network Address Translation) is the process which translates IP address. NAT can be performed at firewall, server and router. In this tutorial we will understand how it is performed at Cisco router.
This tutorial is the first part of our article "Learn NAT (Network Address Translation) Step by Step in Easy Language with Examples". You can read other parts of this article here.
This tutorial is the second part of this article. This tutorial explains how to configure Static NAT (Network Address Translation) in Cisco Router with examples.
This tutorial is the third part of this article. This tutorial explains how to configure Dynamic NAT (Network Address Translation) in Cisco Router step by step with examples.
Before we understand NAT in details let's get familiar with four basic terms used in NAT.
Let's understand these terms with an example. Suppose a user is browsing a website from his home computer. The network which connects his computer with internet is considered as a local network for him. Same as the network which connects the webserver where the website is located with internet is considered as a local network for webserver. The network which connects both networks on internet is considered as a global network.
On router the interface which is connected with local network will be configured with inside local IP address and the interface which is connected with global network will be configured with inside global IP address. Inside and outside depend on where we are standing right now. For example in above network for user router R1 is inside and router R2 is outside.
While for webserver router R2 is inside and router R1 is outside.
Basically on a NAT enabled router there are two types of interface inside local and inside global.
So, what about outside global and outside local? Well… these terms are used to explain the NAT process theoretically. Practically we never need to configure the outside local and outside global as they sound. For example let's discuss above example once again.
On R1 we will configure inside local address (10.0.0.1) and inside global address (100.0.0.1) which will become outside local address (10.0.0.1) and outside global address (100.0.0.1) for R2 respectively.
Same way on R2 we will configure inside local address (192.168.1.1) and inside global address (100.0.0.2) which will become outside local address (192.168.1.1) and outside global address (100.0.0.2) for R1 respectively.
So practically we only configure inside local and inside global. What is inside for one side is the outside for other side.
There are three types of NAT; Static NAT, Dynamic NAT and PAT. These types define how inside local IP address will be mapped with inside global IP address.
In this type we manually map each inside local IP address with inside global IP address. Since this type uses one to one mapping we need exactly same number of IP address on both sides.
In this type we create a pool of inside global IP addresses and let the NAT device to map inside local IP address with the available outside global IP address from the pool automatically.
In this type a single inside global IP address is mapped with multiple inside local IP addresses using the source port address. This is also known as PAT (Port Address Translation) or NAT over load.
Our network is built with private IP addresses and we want to connect it with internet. As we know to connect with internet we require public IP address. In this situation we can use NAT device which will map private IP address with public IP address.
Two networks which are using same IP address scheme want to merge. In this situation NAT device is used to avoid IP overlapping issue.
We want to connect multiple computers with internet through the single public IP address. In this situation NAT is used to map the multiple IP addresses with single IP address through the port number.
To understand how NAT works, let's take one more example. In this example a user is accessing a web server. User and Webserver both are connected through the NAT devices. Both user and webserver are using private IP addresses which are not routable on the internet. Now let's understand how NAT makes this communication possible.
User generates a data packet for web server. This packet has source address 10.0.0.1 and destination address 100.0.0.2.
Here source address is the correct address but why the packet has destination address 100.0.0.2 instead of actual destination address 192.168.1.1?
When a system needs to connect with the website, it uses DNS server to resolve the IP address of the website. DNS server advertises the global IP address of the website. Outsider can connect with the website through the advertised IP address only. In our example the global IP address of web server is 100.0.0.2. For this reason the packet has the destination address 100.0.0.2 instead of 192.168.1.1.
This packet reaches at R1. Since this packet contains private IP address in source filed which is not routable on internet, R1 has to update the private IP address with a routable public IP address before forwarding this packet.
R1 checks NAT table for available public IP addresses. Depending on what type of NAT (Static, Dynamic or PAT) is configured one routable public IP will be picked from NAT table for this packet.
In our example 100.0.0.1 is picked for this packet. Now R1 will replace 10.0.0.1 with 100.0.0.1 in the source filed of the packet and forward it to the R2.
R2 receives this packet and reads the destination IP address. R2 looks in NAT table to find out the actual IP address of the destination. Since the NAT table of R2 has an entry for the address 100.0.0.2 which maps it with the address 192.168.1.1, R2 will replace the destination address 100.0.0.2 with the address 192.168.1.1 and forward it to the web server.
Webserver will process this packet and reply with its own packet. This packet has source address 192.168.1.1 and destination address 100.0.0.1.
Since webserver received this packet from 100.0.0.1 so it will reply to it instead of 10.0.0.1.
R2 receives this packet. Before forwarding this packet R2 will replace the source IP address with the mapped IP address in NAT table. In this example 192.168.1.1 will be replaced with 100.0.0.2.
R1 receives this packet and checks its destination address. R1 will perform a query in NAT table to figure out the IP address which is associated with this destination IP address. Since this destination IP address 100.0.0.1 is mapped with 10.0.0.1, R1 will replace this destination IP address 100.0.0.1 with 10.0.0.1 and forward it to the PC.
From user's point of view the IP address of the webserver is 100.0.0.2. While from web server's point of view the IP address of the user is 100.0.0.1. This way both user and webserver will never know to whom they are communicating actually.
NAT solves IP overlapping issue.
NAT hides internal IP structure from external world.
NAT allows us to connect with any network without changing IP address.
NAT allows us to connect multiple computers with internet through the single the public IP address.
NAT adds additional delay in network.
Several applications are not compatible with NAT.
End to end IP traceability will not work with NAT.
NAT hides actual end device.
That's all for this article. In next part of this tutorial we will learn how to configure static NAT and dynamic NAT in Cisco router.
